Fell like I can finally vent this now I've calmed down.

Me: You've fucked the tree again
Junior: No I haven't
Me: It says there "Fixing merge conflicts"
Junior: Well it wasn't me I wouldn't have done a merge
Me: It has your name next to it...
Junior: Well that commit wasn't there a second ago
Me: it's dated for Friday...
Junior: Well if you hadn't committed to master and blah blah blah
Me: We'll if you knew know to use git we wouldn't have this problem.

    @bashleigh – Maybe teach this kid how to use git ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

    One great thing about git is that it is a godsend for finding out who are the culprits. This guy should have just accepted his error.

    @webnoob I've tried, I've really tried :( gotten no where for the past year. Too frustrated now. Same mistakes again and again. I've tried written in depth documentations with him, another developer tried a presentation with him, I've tried physical repos that we make a mess of and have him fix it whilst I help, I've tried fixing it with him but still. Same old mistakes again and again :'( kill me

    @webnoob it's ok now. I've decided seeing as he hates star wars I'm going to play the imperial attack soundtrack over and over 👍👍

    1. Learn git-flow
    2. Teach him git-flow
    3. Make him use sourcetree (it has built-in git-flow support and is free!)
    4. ???
    5. Profit

    Can’t help but think that as a junior, he can’t be blamed.

    If you give a monkey a gun and it shoots someone, it’s not the monkey’s fault.

    @SSDD depends on how long they have been around. Junior or not, if it's been a year of this they should be better.

    @joodoc if he can’t use git (and this seems to be a known fact) then he shouldn’t be allowed near production on his own.

    If I know someone is incompetent at something, and I let that person do that thing, and they fuck something up... it’s my fault.

    @SSDD i could not agree more. Specially since OP already did her part with the dude. And how does a male dev not like star wars? Dat is dev culture man!! Whats next? He doesn't like Hackers??

    @knifedude +1 for source tree. CLI git may be confusing for rebases/merges etc (at least it is for me)
